How to Watch AMC Series Online

September 26th 2017

Does anyone else remember when AMC was a movie channel? A little known outlet showing classic American movies day in and day out. Today, which the channel does show American movies still, it’s more well known for its bevy of premium drama series. It all started with Mad Men— the smash hit set in the 1950’s and 60’s on Madison Avenue, NYC. From there, it was all history. AMC started making hits that include The Walking Dead, Preacher, Breaking Bad and most recently: Better Call Saul.

Watch AMC Live without Cable on DIRECTV NOW

DIRECTV NOW’s service, owned by AT&T is a bit newer but has all the channels you’re probably looking for. Dozens of channels including AMC are available online with DIRECTV NOW as well. You get a 7 day free trial so there’s no risk to give this a shot. No contracts required either, so give DIRECTV NOW a try if you’re looking to ditch cable.

Watch AMC Live with Sling TV

Another great option is a bit of a larger commitment. AMC doesn’t have their own stand alone app just yet so we have the only real solution for you if you want to stream AMC using some sort of app setup. Sling TV is a new alternative to cable that allows you to subscribe to several channels for a mere $20, including AMC. It gives you live television so you can watch online just like you would on a traditional television. Head over there now to check it out and sign up for the free seven day trial.

Streaming AMC Online via the Official App

AMC does have a streaming app similar to HBO Go and Netflix. The “AMC Mobile” platform that primarily gives you access to new programming. There are countdowns on each episode that let you know how many more days you have before they dissapear. A bit stressful, if you ask me and if you’re expecting a backlog of programming similar to HBO Go you’re going to be disappointed. In fact, here’s the latest review of the app on iTunes:

“This is hands down the worst app I’ve used for watching shows. I typically AirPlay it from my iPhone to my TV. As other reviewers have said, the app is clunky and just a pass through to the website for streaming TV.”

Ouch. The wesbite the reviewer is referring to is AMC’s official portal. The app just seems to be a browser that gives you access to the same full episode streaming content found on AMCTV.com.

While this may not satisfy many streamers, it is a free app and all you’ll have to put up with is the ads (would you expect less from the makers of Mad Men?).

Are AMC Series on Netflix or Hulu?

Netflix may have an AMC problem brewing. Deals come and go when it comes to AMC content. Breaking Bad famously did very well on Netflix but the fact that it’s available now doesn’t mean it will be in 12 months. You’ll have to search Netflix for the latest on what’s available there right now. Most shows are there but what you won’t get on Netflix is NEW AMC programming. It takes about a year to 18 months to get those shows onto Netflix.

AMC on iTunes, Amazon and Google Play

Of course, if you aren’t a subscriber to one of the above services you can always pay per episode. At about $2 per episode you can own any and all episodes of AMC’s shows. You’ll have to wait a bit to get the newest of new episodes but you’ll have access to the entire AMC library of shows if you’re willing to pay per episode. Great if you just want a selection of episodes and not the complete series.

Of course, there are other, illegal ways to stream AMC series online but we won’t go there this time! If you know of any other ways to watch AMC series online feel free to leave a comment below. The streaming world changes quickly so this information may change over time.

STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM THE AMC APP!!!!! Does not work at all and if did work, you are bombarded with ads. The author states that you can view the episodes for $2, Wrong! When you sign in to the app it immediately sends you to your cable provider? Now why would I get an app that requires you to go to a cable provider? If I had cable I would not need the app! Get it?!? I rather download the cable provider app if it was available.

With App on Apple-TV, you could stream without needing to pay for another cable box in different location in house. Also, can carry Apple-TV box when travel/vacation to watch on larger TV. Cable box won’t work their even internet is available..

We have sling tv, hulu, netflix & amazon prime. We do not have cable. So if we miss a live episode on sling tv we cannot see it until the next week rebroadcast prior to new episode. What a load of crap! Come on AMC catch up with the times! Why do you want us to have cable in order to watch an episode we missed?

Sling does not work with wifi that throttles , has too much interference, a weak signal, or under 5 Mbs. The wifi is free in my building and I have continual problems with AMC shows on Sling until later in the evening. Even then it stops and starts.

AMC movie channel is a favorite for the American. This channel makes them attractive and busy. The passing of Tim e for live movies is also an enjoyment opportunity for the people. Many people often us such channel for different latest movies.

The AMC official portal does not work. I don’t have problems with any other network’s steaming sites but this one. HBO Go works great, Netflix etc. works great but this does not work no matter what I do. It just sends me in a loop back to the beginning all the time and I’m not the only one with this issue. There are hundreds of threads on forums about it and AMC is no help with fixing the problem that has been going on for years. They suck!
